Digital Anarchy's Transcriptive

Transcription within PremierePro
By Ko Maruyama

Digital Anarchy's newest offering is Transcriptive, a new extension/plugin for Adobe Premiere Pro does a bunch of things that you might expect. Yes, of course, it transcribes. It makes the creation of subtitles and closed captions very easy. But one of the hidden gems of the plugin is that it creates a metadata component that you can edit with, moving through your timeline easily.

Transcriptive features the ability to call from different services to get multiple language transcriptions from your spoken word.

Using these automated transcriptions will help you edit more efficiently, create open and closed captions more easily, and may also lead to some untapped creative options for editors who don't have the luxury of actors/speakers who stick to the script.

I'll be checking out this new feature from Digital Anarchy in the weeks to come, and you can too - there's a demo available on the the website. If you're in Amsterdam for IBC 2017, you can get a demo in the Speechmatics booth. Speechmatics is one of the transcription services you can use from within the extension. Speechmatics has a very high accuracy rate as well as a large list of languages that it can creation transcriptions from.

Check out this overview as well as a few very short tutorials on Digital Anarchy's Transcriptive for PremierePro.

Digital Anarchy(www.digitalanarchy.com) announced Transcriptive, an automated, intelligent transcription plugin for Adobe® Premiere Pro® editors. Specifically designed to automatically transcribe video, Transcriptive uses multiple speech and natural language processing engines to achieve a 95% accuracy rate. This makes Transcriptive an incredibly powerful and cost effective solution to generate closed captions, sub-titles, and metadata for search engine optimization. Having all the speech in a video turned into text also allows editors to easily search the entire video for words and phrases.

Digital Anarchy will be demonstrating its new Transcriptive plugin at IBC 2017 in Amsterdam this month in the Speechmatics booth #C23 in Hall 8.

'Using Artificial Intelligence to automate transcriptions does for video editing what the printing press did for publishing,' said Jim Tierney, president of Digital Anarchy. 'Most transcription today is done manually; it's extremely time consuming and very expensive. Transcriptive's AI services generate accurate transcripts in minutes and for just pennies. In fact, you can transcribe 60 minutes of video in about 10 minutes for under $4.00, all without leaving Premiere Pro. It's a massive leap forward in post production.'

Transcriptive: How it WorksTranscriptive gives users the option to use two different speech engines to automatically and accurately transcribe video with much less human interaction. It features speaker identification, time code, text edit capabilities and other tools to make it a simple process for video editors and producers.

Its seamless integration with Adobe Premiere Pro allows users to stay within one program, eliminating the need to switch back and forth, wasting time and interrupting creative flow. Additionally, Transcriptive makes it possible to use transcription results to search video within Premiere Pro, enabling keyword searches for specific words or phrases spoken in videos. Transcriptive also includes an improved search panel that makes Search even easier and more reliable within Premiere Pro.

Once the transcriptions are complete, editors can either use them within Premiere or export them as .srt, .stl, or .vtt files for use in other applications, or online, for example, on YouTube for SEO/Sub-title purposes. You can also save the metadata with the video clip.
